Merchant Rep of Iceland

[Gunburned]

As the tittle suggest I made a Merchant Republic with my capital on Iceland. I control all the trade posts from Iceland down the islands to Scotland. I'm not getting connected to capital bonus. Is this a bug?

Oh also if i recall correctly there was a decision to transform tribal holdings to castles/cities. Was it changed in the last patch? Im not able to do it anymore.

AFAIK no one's ever really been able to figure out 100% what it is that determines the connected to capital bonus.

Sometimes it works in distant trade posts if your trade zone includes the capital.....other times not. As a hard rule it does always seem to work if the post are connected by land.

That's a really unusual realm you have going there - the kingdom of Saxony based in Iceland? XD

Yeah.

WTF, man? You pick an Indian dynastic symbol for the swastika and your custom ruler's dynasty name is Htiler? WTF?

Requires some additional stuff now.

I can't help but think that this is not the forum to get excited about Nazis in. Besides, he's hardly roleplaying a Nazi, his kids aren't all the same ethnicity!

more than anything the fact that so many people just see swastika and go "lol nazis" for a joke; triggers me. its like, its tilted and reversed, and doesnt have any of the additional iconography inside it, but noooooo; everyones gotta be a jokester.

You know, it isn't exactly about swastika, there isn't anything bad about it, but with the "htiler" dynasty it seems preety damn nazist.

IIRC, you need to use the regular update path now (lvl 4 Hillfort or Market Village)

Sirrobert1 I have both

I thought you only get the connected to capital bonus for tradeposts within the same sea zone as your capital? (That is, with the port in the same seas zone to be exact). I play Venice a lot and this is what I deduced from my observations. Not sure if this is working as intended or not.

Regardless, you still get the trade value bonus from connecting your trade-zones though.
